DESCRIPTION:
This Wall Switch Module is designed for use with
Levlton
Decora
Electronic Control (DEC) Powerline
Carder Components. It functions as a remote
control
switching
device which responds to ON/OFF
and ALL LIGHTS ON/OFF commands, from one or
more DEC controllers remotely located from the
module. The switch module can also be operated
manually as a standard type wall switch.
2
The module may be set to any of the 256 address
codes, selected at the time of installation. The
desired address Is set by removing the touchplate
and selecting letter and number codes with a small
blade screwdriver. The module is equipped with
back wire terminals and installs easily in a
standard
wall box. It is
suitable
for incandescent and
fluores-
cent lighting, as well as switch controlled appliance
when Dimming Is not desired.
The Cat. No.
6291
is assembled as white and an
ivory color conversion kit is provlded.
This
product
fits any color
Decora
Wallplate (sold separately).
Additional color conversion
kits
are available.

APPLICATIONS:
Decora
Electronic Controls will not control lighting
that is used with low voltage or high frequency
transformers, nor high pressure discharge lamps
(HID lighting). This
includes
mercury vapor, sodium
vapor, and
metal
halide
lamps.

can control:
l
Low pressure dischare lamps (fluorescent)
(ON/OFF only)
-
use
d
at. Nos. 6291 and 6293
l
120 Volt quartz lamps can be dimmed or
brightened
-
use Cat. Nos. 6381 and 6383
l

-
(ON/OFF only) use Cat.
Nos.
8291, 6293, 6227
and 6280 (DIMMING)
use Cat. Nos. 6381-U and 6290
If a power interruption should
occur
while the 6291 is
ON the LOAD will remain ON when power is re-
stored.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
The
Leviton
power line carrier signal is designed to
provide the greatest signal integrity and noise
immunity possible. However, in some environments
intense electrical noise can cause interference with
the signal.
Leviton
has developed hardware and techniques for
overcoming this interference when properly applied.
It is the responsibility of the specifier/installer
to
test
for signal strength and the presence of noise using
Leviton
test equipment Cat. Nos. 6385 (Signal Test
Transmitter) and 6386 (Signal Strength Indicator)
and to properly
apply
signal coupling and noise-
reduction equipment according to the guidelines
provided in the DEC Technical Manual and the DEC
Troubleshooting Guide.
Leviton
specifically
denies
any warranty of perfor-
mance, stated or implied, where electrical noise
interference exists at the time of installation, or
subsequent to Installation by the addition of noise-
producing devices or equipment, or where these
components have been installed for non-residential
applications.

1. The trim frame bordering the touch plate has
notches on its sides. Place the tip of a
small-
bladed
screwdriver
under a notch and gently pry
off the trim frame.
2.
The touch plate has a notch
along
its bottom edge
which
can be seen once the trim frame has been
removed. Place the screwdriver tip in this
notch and gently pry
off
the touch
plate.

3. Take the new touch plate and gently press it into
place until it seats properly with a click.
4. Take the new trim frame and position it properly
around the touch plate. Notice that the trim frame
has a cut-out for the indicator light.
With the trim
frame properly
positioned,
gently press it into
place until it seats properly with a click. The color
conversion is complete.
PERFECT PERFORMANCE CHECKLIST
if the 6291 seems to be functioning improperly
confirm that the:
1. POWER IS OFF AT
CIRCUIT
BREAKER OR
FUSE. Check that the Module is wired EXACTLY
as shown in the Wiring Diagram. Restore power
before proceeding.
2. Module is being supplied from a
120V/
60Hz
AC
source ONLY.
3. Load being controlled is in proper working order.
Local switch, ON. (Check for burned-out bulbs)
4. Load being controlled does not exceed the
20 Amp module limit.

5. Module’s Letter and Number codes are set
correctly- that they match the codes set in the
Controller.
6. Confirm that the controller Is powered.
IMPORTANT:
If,
after checking Items 1 through 6,
the module
still
does not operate properly, the
fault may not
lie
with
the module itself.Follow
steps 7 and 8 to
identify
the source of the problem.
7. Set the controller to transmit address P1..Using a
Signal Strength Indicator, Cat. No. 6386, plugged
in at the location of the controller, Confirm that the
controller is transmitting a
minimum
reading of 2
volts of command
signal
at the HI-RANGE setting.
If the signal strength Is less than 2 volts, have
controller checked.
6. Check for adequate command signal at the
module location as follows:
a) Plug the Cat. No. 6385 Signal Test Transmitter
into a receptacle on the same circuit.
b) Using the Cat. No. 6386
Signal
Strength
Indicator at the module location, check the
command signal amplitude. Signal strength

c) If the Yellow ERROR CONDITION indicator is
lit, there is electrical noise present on the AC
line which is interfering with proper module
operation. The source of the noise must be
identified and either filtered out or eliminated.
Consult the DEC Technical Manual and DEC
